INTERNATIONAL DAY FOR THE ERADICATION OF POVERTY 2022.

Through resolution (A/RES/ 47/196) adopted on 22nd December 1992, the United Nations General Assembly declared 17th October as the lnternational Day for the Eradication of Poverty and invited all states to devote the day to presenting and promoting, as appropriate in the national context, concrete activities with regard to the eradication of poverty and destitution. The resolution further invites intergovernmental and non-governmental organizations to assist states, at their request, in organizing national activities for the observance of the day, and requests the Secretary - General to take, within existing resources, the measures necessary to ensure the success of the day's observance by the United Nations. October 17th presents an opportunity to acknowledge the effort and struggle of people living in poverty, a chance for them to make their concerns heard, and a moment to recognize that poor people are the first ones to fight against poverty. Participation of the poor themselves has been at the centre of the day's celebration since it's very beginning. The commemoration of October 17th also reflects the willingness of people living in poverty to use their expertise to contribute to the eradication of poverty. Worldwide 1.3 billion people live in poverty. Ending poverty is key to achieving the global goals, our blueprint for a better and more sustainable future. This day honours the millions of people suffering from poverty and their daily courage, and recognizes the essential global solidarity and shared responsibility we hold to eradicate poverty and combat all forms of discrimination. The theme for this year's lnternational Day for the Eradication of Poverty 2022 is: "Dignity for all in practice".
